Final version now available!

Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes.
This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing
one more final draft. Please leave comments
on what could be changed or improved, or what
needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe
if you want to be notified when the revision
is released.
UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti
where you can actually write your comments
into the video itself. It is an exciting
experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out
at http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add
your voice!
Transcripts are now available as well:

A couple of people have noted that the
statement, "XML was created to do just that"
(separate form from content) is misleading
because CSS enables the same effect with
HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the
video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in
the next draft.
My statement on XML is based on the following
from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it
is important to understand why it was
created. XML was created so that richly
structured documents could be used over the
web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and
SGML, are not practical for this purpose.
HTML, as we've already discussed, comes bound
with a set of semantics and does not provide
arbitrary structure."
Thank you all for the comments. With your
help the next draft will be cleaned up and
hopefully free of factual errors.
A higher quality version is available for
download here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd Please
note that this is the second draft and the
final version will not be available until
late February after I review all comments and
revise the video. Please return for a new
download link at that time.
The song is "There's Nothing Impossible" by
Deus, available for free at
http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/103/
Deus offers music under a Creative Commons

interlinking of people sharing and
collaborating this video is attempting to
illustrate.

Rappin' about CERN's Large Hadron Collider!

Apparently YouTube fixed the sound! Still,
Will Barras made two options trying to get
around the original problems:

Vimeo is downloadable if you log in.
There has been a lot of interest in the
original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for
remixing. You can find all that here:

There's also been interest in translation.
You can get a subtitle-free version from
Vimeo here (downloadable):

With backing track available here (with and
without Hawking-style voice):

Go ahead and translate, rap it, and post it!
Just give us a shout-out, and it's probably a
good idea to include the following credits
;-)
Images came from:
particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the
Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and
Marvel
I forgot Einstein Online, and they called me
out: http://www.einstein-online.info
The talented dancers doubled as camera
people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock
footage is CERN's.
Will Barras is responsible for the killa
beats:

And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought
of using computer-voice to bring Stephen
Hawking to the world of rap :-)
http://www.mchawking.com/
The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a
good thing) as a science writer.

They'll have a lot of data to sort. 15
million GB per year, actually. Want to get

| Free Hugs Campaign. (music by Sick Puppies.net album out) |

News: We would like to thank and hug every
one of you for making this video Youtube
video of the year! Check out our video thank
you message here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99CuM6abT2Q
---------------------------------------------
--
Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free
hugs is a real life controversial story of
Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to
reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up
their lives.
In this age of social disconnectivity and
lack of human contact, the effects of the
Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.
As this symbol of human hope spread accross
the city, police and officials ordered the
Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then
witness is the true spirit of humanity come
together in what can only be described as awe
inspiring.
In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS
THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After
all, If you can reach just one person...
Music by Sick Puppies. Their album is out
April 3rd called "Dressed Up As Life". Go out
and support these guys.
(Visit http://sickpuppies.net or
http://myspace.com/sickpuppies for the music)
---------------------------------------------
----
PS. The response to this video has been
nothing short of overwhelming and touching.
Hugs to every single one of you who messaged.
There has been thousands of emails from all
over the world by people seeking to
participate in the Free Hugs campaign and
asking for permission. You do not need
permission. This is the peoples movement,
this is *your* movement. With nothing but
your bare hands you can make THE difference.
Imagine all the people.
